Is TESLA Run By A Fascist ???

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
Benito Mussolini

If that statement is correct (and Mussolini was an expert on the subject), then we ought to consider the fascist nature of the US state-corporate alliance. Here is one potential example of that alliance:

On July 24, 2020, Tesla’s Elon Musk wrote on Twitter that a second US "government stimulus package is not in the best interests of the people." Someone responded to Musk soon after, "You know what wasn’t in the best interest of people? The US government organizing a coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia so you could obtain the lithium there." Musk then wrote: "We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it."

Musk refers here to the coup against President Evo Morales Ayma, who was removed illegally from his office in November 2019. Morales had just won an election for a term that was to have begun in January 2020. Even if there was a challenge against that election, Morales’ term should rightfully have continued through November and December of 2019. Instead, the Bolivian military, at the behest of Bolivia’s far right and the United States government, threatened Morales; Morales went into exile in Mexico and is now in Argentina.

And it appears TESLA is not the only potentially fascist partner of the US government. Consider the fact that CEOs of Big Tech more or less told their government interrogators to go to hell yesterday; in no way should they be considered "monopolies". Would that have happened 100 years ago? 50 years ago?

The day before, the US Attorney General was the target of the ire which should have been aimed at Big Tech. What was his crime? Apparently a desire to investigate and prosecute crimes committed by the President's political opponents and members of the Obama administration.

When politicians kowtow to, support, and enable the financial shenanigans of huge corporations, we would be foolish NOT to call that "fascism" ... because if it isn't, it soon will be.

Allegedly, Joe Biden plans to tax Amazon-Apple-Facebook-Google-Microsoft-etc. Does anyone think such a thing could actually happen, or if it did that the corporations wouldn't just pass that cost of doing business on to their customers?

Big corporations and banks have captured the US government and are even taking over most of its primary functions. We will soon be ruled by an all-encompassing technocracy. That too is something we'll have to deal with.

And what, you may ask, is the problem with that? It's this - they tell We the People what we can and cannot do, not the other way around. If you don't have a problem with that, then you don't understand what America is supposed to be.

Update 8/2/2020

Now Elon thinks we're dumb, lazy, and paid too much:

I believe he's the kind of monster who destroyed our economy while enriching himself in the process. Is his the kind of "innovation" we really need?
